Xi asks Party to support independent judiciary

[Aepsilons]

Some Brits like @mike2000 would perhaps take that pride from the US, since he considers the US and the UK as one entity as both nations are Anglo-Saxon.

The Anglo-Saxons are some very arrogant folks, and they remain hostile towards Russia as they also consider Russia as the only non-Anglo-Saxon white people who can pose a challenge to their absolute hegemony.

In their eyes, they wouldn't tolerate anyone who poses a threat to their global hegemony, no matter you are white or not.

For now, they are going after China for some obvious reasons.

Although Obama is half-black, but he is the non-white token for the Anglo-Saxon world.

The point is this, Tiger, if Japan (over 70 years ago) could project such power and devastation to the West, and the United States, what more if China does the same in a war? China has greater land mass, a greater population, a larger industrial capacity than Japan. So, if we Japanese were able to humiliate the Dutch, the French, the British , and to an extent -- the Americans , then imagine what China can do when she is able to build her forces. Much more, definitely.

So , it is truly unwise to under-estimate East Asian fighting capability and strategy. The old European Powers dared to under-estimate Japan , thinking that we were harmless "Yellow Peril" in their newspapers. Lo and behold, their last great battles in Asia were resounding defeats to very people whom they considered much inferior than they. Never, ever under-estimate the enemy.

lol, Yes you have a point. Perhaps, that is the reason why Obama, in his State of The Nation Address had even warned about the possibility of 're-shoring' the manufacturing that was off shored to China. You have a point, definitely.

It is easier to say than to be done.

Since China's manufacturing base now doesn't exclusively relies on the cheap labors, since we have formed the extremely developed supply lines and huge manufacturing chains.

With the huge advantages in both cost and efficiency, it is not easy to replace China.

That's why the US has no choice, and they have run out of ideas to curb our rise.

So long as they continue to put high tax rates on corporations, there's no way these corporations will re-shore back to the United States. Obama is all talk. The same with his "Red Line" threat. lol.

I still remember reading how the Americans(?) underestimated Imperial Japanese pilots because they have "slit eyes", & were shock to witness a totally equal, if not better fighter pilots.

Back in 1900s, Japan should have learned from the Qing Dynasty, which was to integrate yourself into the Chinese culture.

But you also have to learn the mistakes from the Qing Dynasty, which is to avoid being stagnated in technology like they have done.

Too bad, your ruling class has treated the Chinese people like animals and also attempted to destroy our culture and fully replace with the Japanese one onto the Chinese soil.

For these reasons, China cannot treat Japan as an ally and cannot accept your proposal of 大东亚共荣圈.

If your ancestors have learned both goodness and mistake from the Qing Dynasty, then your nation could have a chance to rule over China, perhaps over the world.

But too bad, they have missed that chance because of their short-sight strategy.

Its funny that even in the United States, still, they make jokes , racist ones, like that. I know it is a joke, but as a Japanese -- to hear such things is rather hurtful. You know what i mean?

This will take time to resovle. After all, history is written by man. We can write a new chapter if people from both side have the will. Maybe not now, but certainly the prospect is there in the future.

It is up to Japan, if they can stop behaving like a child, then we can forgive them for sure.

"Slit eyes" are common amongst us East Asians, it is a thing of beauty, learn to appreciate it & not buy into the idea that only western idea of beauty is the one & only. But I know what you mean.

What you say is true, Tiger, it was the great shame of Japanese to treat Chinese with such inhumane methods in the war. It was wrong because for one, Japanese and Chinese belong to the same East Asian Race. It was like younger brother attacking the older brother, a filial civilization. But I am hopeful because the 2,600 years of Sino-Japanese history together, it was marked with mutual growth, trade, and peace. We are both ancient brother civilizations, and i am hopeful that in the next 1,000 or 2,000 years, it will be filled with cooperation. Remember, the 50 years we had of war (sino japanese wars), is nothing compared to the peace we had and cooperation we had in over 2 millenia.

"Slit eyes" are common amongst us East Asians, it is a thing of beauty, learn to appreciate it & not buy into the idea that only western idea of beauty is the one & only. But I know what you mean.

It is utterly insulting for me to hear such jokes (and trust me i hear it alot amongst my students, i witness asian american students even get joked around, teased around for being a "nerdy asian" -- as if being intelligent is a bad thing? ).

But i agree with you, Xudeen, there is nothing wrong with our beauty -- and nothing enrages me more than when others of a different race put down people of East Asian race based on phenotype. Nothing changes the fact that East Asians (Chinese, Koreans, Japanese) have the highest IQs in the world -- all above 100. lol.

lol, Japanese who are aware of the past understand the implication of future Sino-Japanese ties, I've talk to a few Japanese aquaintence in Singapore, so on personal level they do feel apologetic & I appreciate their sincerity. But political & social stigma, the climate of the ruling party & direction of national education within Japan itself has to be considered. Not easy to manage on national level. It took a catastrophic event to seperate our nations into opposite camps, perhaps it will require another event of similar magnitude to unite us together...

If we learn from the history of Qing and Yuan dynasties
If Japanese still rule China mainland until now, and create a dynasty as Zeus Nihon dynasty,
The China history would call Zeus Nihon emperor as Chinese emperor, because we all know what happened to Qing and Yuan Mongol ...

Take it easy bro, in modern days Japan there are doves, hawks and neutrals, same like here in China.
Yes, the hawks are holding power now, let's do the checks and moves according, not to all Japanese people.
Relax dude ...

How very intriguing ! I remember dicussing this with @LeveragedBuyout , @Edison Chen , @Genesis and @TaiShang a whiles back. Funny how --- things --- fall into place.

Very nice move by CPC. They apply the theory into practice.

社会主义核心价值观(socialist core values): 自由、平等、公正、法治

 

[Echo_419]

Well, you are absolutely correct bro. couldnt agree more. As you know, thats the main problem with communism and one party states. They tend to believe that if you are not loyal to the party , then you are a traitor and should be punished/purged, this is a very misleading/wrong approach. I can still love my country to death, but at the same time despising the ruling party of my country, does that means i should be discarded/imprisoned/condemn because of this? So i will ask Chinese members on here, if a chinese citizen doesnt like the CCP, should he still be allowed to serve his country? Or you will all consider him a traitor/western liberalist/unpatriotic etc?.lool

Well as far the party thinks its above the state/country(as its always the case in all communist countries), then im afraid fight against corruption will remain just in name only, since there are several big vested interests/groups who are firmly in control of the party machine, and as such cant be prosecuted for political reasons, since they love the 'party'.lool At the end thats what matters most it seems, not the country. So despite Xi's bold initiative/intentions, im afraid his fight for corruption won't be as sucessful as he might wish. THE COUNTRY SHOULD ALWAYS COME BEFORE ANY PARTY, since the country will always be there, but political/ruling parties come and go...........



I also said this before, that China needs an INDEPENDENT Judiciary with wide ranging powers akin to the one in Hong Kong. However as far as its still under/controlled by the CCP, then im afraid there will always be vested interests/cliques who will control it and protect their subordinates. So we are back again to square one.lool There is no escaping this for China, it will have to form an independent judiciary thats free from the CCP, and whch can prosecute any body in the CCP itself.

Agreed independent judiciary is one of the most important things to truly establish a strong Democracy & a strong Country not to forget fighting corruption
For eg India's judiciary is fiercely independent & fights corruption everyday
The scans you saw during early 2010s were exposed by our Supreme Court & the independent Auditor of India and a China will have to leave 1 party system 1 day
Conclusion
Strong judiciary = Strong country
